Before Operating
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can
burn you and others.
S
To prevent a static charge from igniting the gasoline, place the container and/or
mower directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.
S
Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold. Wipe up spills.
S
Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.
S
Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out of the reach of children.
Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into contact with the moving blade, causing
serious injury.
S
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
S
Do not put your fingers under the housing when adjusting the cutting height.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline
from a major name-brand service station.

add fuel stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with
gasoline less than 30 days old.
